Kuller sig nificance of the m.'ssugo forwarded by prominent American socialists to Influential socialist leaders In France mid Kuglsnd. advni-utlag a conference of entente socialist parties prior to tho lnlcniallen.il socialist conference In Stockholm, was revealed today In tho annmnii'cinent that IVIrograd had been proposed as the scene of the con ference. According to II. I,. Slobodln, presl dent of tliniNew York State socialist party, one of the signers of the mes sage, tho object of a conference al l'etrogrsd would be two-fold -to aid the Husslan socialists In establishing the government and lo tiring about Among entente socialists a united front to defeat Herman Intrigue at Stockholm. I POISON GIVEN TO IIIATPIIISBORG TEDDY AND TWO weeks valuable time was lost by congress in pass ing the army bill debating over sending Mr. IJoose vclt's private nrmy to the trenches. The proposal was first rejected, after stormy discussion, by the house, hut accepted by the senate, after an equally lengthy talk-fest. The conferees disputed a week, then finally agreed to drop the Uoosevelt volunteers from 1 the bill, whereupon the house refused to concur, reversed itself, sent the bill back to conference with instructions favorable to adopting the senate amendment. , The bill as finally passed, authorizes the acceptance of a personally conducted force of volunteers, such as Mr. Roosevelt suggests. It is up to the president whether such a force shall be accepted. Tho general army staff is op posed, and the president lias hitherto been governed en tirely by its recommendations in military matters. In addition, there will be difficult y in equipping and training the selective draft army authorized, as there is a shortage of nearly everything that goes to make up an army. Whether such supplies should be diverted from the regular organization for the volunteers of a paper political 'army, with its. self-appointed officers and its glory-seeking .spectacular leader, is questionable. Speaking of Mr. Roosevelt's offer, the New York World pronounces his demands mischievous, and says: All other Americans of military age aro subject to draft as privates, or If ambitious to bo officers, like hlniBelf, must undergo Intensive training and Instruction. Willi little experience, by nature Insubordinate, always a sensational showman, and giving evidence dally that he has no truo under standing of the situation at the front or of the dirt.-cuiiios of transport, Mr. ltoosevelt, who condescends to enlist placing his legions :n the trenches In uosslble and to be allowed, he and slaughtered and his country humiliated. Whatever Is gonoiiMO In Mr. ltoosevelt and nvs battalions ought to be used very choorfully and thankfully to strengthen tho army of the United States soon to be In preparation for service abroad. All that Is merely the atrical and boastful a.-.d fraudulent In them can only hinder the mighty work In hand. ; Whatever is said against Roosevelt and his proposi tion, however, there is this much in his favor he is one of the few lenders in the. United States who realizes that war and fighting are synonymous words. Teddy is a fight ing man, it not a military man; a man with a. punch who realizes that the sooner the United States begins fighting, the sooner the war will be over. ...... There is no question but that the moral effect of hav ing a former president of the United States in the trenches of Murope would be tremendous and be a conclusive demon stration to the world that the United States was in earnest in entering the war. Many 01 the congressmen along opposed the war and be trying to loree tho nation to war, delaying action upon vital measures by opposition as long ns possible.npparently 111 order that the allies may be weakened until they become ineffective. If the only way to secure actum is to' call 111 the present critical situation action. '''' Bran Flours for Home' Breadmaking WASHINGTON, May IS. The use ot flours which contain mure or less bran Is sometimes advisable both for tho sake of tho variety which they give to tho diet and because of the mineral substances and growth-regulating substances theso flours contain. Farniors' Bulletin S07 of tho United States department of agriculture, Bread and Dread Making, Includes, in addition to whlto bread recipes, a numlicr of home mudo bread from wholo wheat or graham flour, from home-ground flour, from rye, rolled oats, etc. Theso aro as follows: Wholo-Whent or tlmlinm llrcnd. One and one-halt cups lukewarm milk, thrco tablespoons brown sugar, one and one-fourth teaspoons salt, three caps whole-wheat or graham (lour, one-half yeast cake. (tea lit the milk, together with the sugar and salt. When lukewarm, add tho yeast, mixing It first with a little of the milk. Add the flour, beat well, and let It double Its volume. Heat It thoroughly, put Into a pan, and let It rise. In a pan of Btandard slue It should come nearly to the top. The nbove recipe may lie used In preparing bread from home-ground meal. There are many homes, par ticularly In the country, where the housewife can obtain unground wheat at moderate cost. If ground In the ordinary cofreo mill, such wheat makes a course bread, not very light in texture, but of such good flavor thai It may well bo used occasionally lo give variety to tho diet. It Is use ful, too, in places where good bran cannot lie obtained easily and where coarse breads are desired as a means of preventing constipation. In mak ing such bread with a view to econ omy the housekeeper should compute what It will cost her per loaf, Includ ing labor and fuel, as compared with (tlier breads she makes. Skim milk instead of whole milk can be used; home made yeast, either liquid or dry cakes, is a possibility, and some might like the bread with loss sugar or un sweetened. Another recipe which has been work out follows: Home-Ground W heat Urrail.

Pour one and one-fourth cupfnls of tho wator over the corn meal, salt, sugar, and fat (it used), and heat the mixture gradually to the boiling point or nearly to It and cook 20 minutes. This cooking can best be done In a double boiler. The water Is sufficient, only to soften the meal a little. Allow tho meal to cool to about the temperature of the room and add the yeast, nilxod with the rest ot the water tone-fourth cupful ). or tho one-fourth cupful of liquid yeast.

Steam the' rice with one-half of the liquid until It is sort. This Is done better In a steamer than In a double boiler, for the liquid Is so small In amount that the rice does not become soft readily and the presence of tho steam helps. Put the sugar, salt, and fat (if used). Into the mixing bowl and pour over them the remaining liquid (one-half cupful). When the mixture has become lukewarm add tho yeast and one-halt cupful ot flour. Allow (his sponge to rise until very light.

IN 1 tOfORO VJUoTiity SECRET TREATY BETWEEN ; KAISER AND CZAR EXISTED PARIS, Muy 18. A long account of a secret pact between the kaiser and Emperor Nicholas and aimed at France is given In the last issue of the Moscow Itusskoye Slovo to reach Paris. According to tho story, the existence of the treaty was discovered by Count Wlttee in 1905 while the peace negotiations betwen Russia and Japan wero proceeding at Ports mouth, i ! Count Witto, furlouB at the decep tion of the czar, informed the kaiser that unless the pact was cancelled ho would refuse to countersign the treaty of Portsmouth. As Gorman bankers' wero Interested In a loan to Russia this would have hit them hard, tho Btory goes, and rather than havo complications in his economic policy the kaiser yielded. Neither emperor, howover, ever forgave Count WItte. At the beglnlng of the war Count Wltto communicated tho facts to B. Ollnsky, editor of the Messenger Ilis toriquo. Ho bound tho editor to keep the Information secret until he, Count Witte, was dead, and circum stances warranted the revolution of "Nicholas' Inconceivable le;vlty or treason whichever you like." JAPANESE SHIPS ARRIVE IN EUROPEAN WATERS PARIS, May IS. A number of Japanese gunboats have arrived at Marseilles to aid in the war on Gor man submarines and convoy French merchantmen. If the experiment has satisfactory results It. will be ex tended. Tho arrival of Japanese warships In Europe to tako part in the war on Gorman submarines mr.rks the first active participation by Japan in the European struggle.

A number of German Islands In the Pacific wero seized by Japanese naval forces in the early months of the war and Japaneso warships aided in the pursuit of the lOmden nnd oth er German commerce raiders In southern and Far Eastern waters. The prestige of the Japaneso navy has been' very high since its sensa tional successes in the Russo-Japanese war.

COAL COMPANIES ASK DAMAGES FO SHORTAGE OF CARS WASHINGTON, Jf.iy IS. In one of the most far-reaching complaints filed beforo tho lutarstulo commerce com mission four Utah coal companies to day seek to recover approximately $425,000 from seven railroads as damages alleged to have been sus tained through tho failure of the roads to supply them with an ade quate number of coal cars for their operations. The case sets a precedent. If de elded In favor of the complainants, It would open the way for the filing of innumerable similar complaints, not only by coal and other mining com panies, but by manufacturers and oth or shippers ot virtually all commodi ties carried in interstate commerce for alleged losses running into many millions. The complainants are tho Cameron, Spring Valley and Standard Coal com panies and the Independent Coal and Coke company of Salt Lake City. The Southern Pacific, Union Pa cific, Los Angeles and Salt Lake, the Oregon Short Line, tho Denver and IMo Grande, and the Western Pacific roalroad companies and the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation company are defendants. Complainants also ask the commis sion to compel the railroads to in crease their equipment to keep up with industrial demands. : MO SLEEP LAST SLIGHT?
